I'm not sure if this is your problem. Since you installed mozilla from
packages rather than ports it may be. The package may have been built
with the older version of gettext. A portupgrade mozilla may solve the
problem.
The 'gettext' transition period is over by now (in the ports tree).  So 
it's basically a matter of waiting until all the binary packages have 
been rebuilt with the new 'gettext'.  Or maybe this has happened already.

When exactly did you download the Mozilla package?  If it's fresh and 
apparently not updated yet, just wait a couple of days and download 
again.  The problem will eventually go away by itself.

That's from gettext.  The mozilla package was linked against a gettext
version that is older than the one you have installed.  Perhaps you
can find a newer mozilla package, but if not you're probably better
off building mozilla from ports.
